Someone should inform the school board that these costumes are most likely a distraction to the other students trying to learn. They could also open up the door to bullying by her classmates. I honestly appreciate the importance of women's history as much as anyone, but I really think that children's safety needs to come first.

Uchiha_Cycliste:DjangoStonereaver: KrispyKritter: Children still recite the Pledge of Allegiance in schools? Holy crap. I did not know that.

Oh yes, and apparently in West Virginia they also have a Pledge of Allegiance to the State as wellthat they must say.

That is kinda freaky.

MUST say?We were supposed to say it everyday in HS too, we HAD to stand for it, but my best friend and I never said it, we just stood there.

My niece said they had to memorize it.

Interestingly, a cursory search of Google shows that Georgia and Texas also have state pledges ofallegiance. I wonder if this isn't a holdover from the good old days of the bootstrappy, state's rightslovin' Confederacy?
